Pre-application service

Businesses

Do you..

• Have plans for building works or other developments?
• Have business premises, but wish to change the current use or alter/extend them?

Are you...

Unsure if you need permission or whether your proposals are likely to be acceptable?

The one stop shop is an advisory service offered by us to identify the consents required and how to apply for them. We can offer advice on major issues and can tell you if permission is likely to be granted.

Householders

If you need a legally binding decision on if a householder proposal requires planning permission, you should apply for a Certificate of Lawfulness of Proposed Use or Development under the Town and Country Planning Act 1991 [as amended].

This legally binding certificate is often needed by lenders before funds are released.
